Whenever I question Jackson's sanity concerning his love for certain toy series that don't seem to make any sense, I have to recall that my brother and I were briefly, but intensely, fans of the Micronauts toys. (Apparently, some fans can't let go.) They were really cheap (though the commercial's description of "die-cast metal" always sounded fancy) and had some Egyptian pharaoh theme that went over the head of the average 8-year-old.
As a bonus, you could also pull them apart to create a collection of choking hazards!
And, by sheer coincidence as I was looking for links for this post, I learned that JJ Abrams might plan a movie based on the toys. (I also learned even more that I cared to know about them, like they were foisted on kids again in 2002-2003, and were the subjects of comic books for 30 years. My fandom was rather limited, thank goodness.)
